You know that little ceramic dish they use in sit-down restaurants to convey condiments, dipping sauces, small amounts of coleslaw or pasta salad, and whatnot along with your plate?
That's called a ramekin.
Examples of ramekins in use:
Now you know.

I'm perplexed by why we have a specific word to describe this. And not just in English, but in most of the Romance languages as well. We're always coming up with new words to describe things which have little to no resemblance to the words which would be used to more directly describe the object.
Not the Germans. They don't waste effort inventing new language every time someone creates a new piece of cookware which is just a smaller version of several other existing pieces of cookware. They just compound a couple of existing words together and, voila: Auflaufförmchen. If you're a fluent German speaker, you can figure out what auflaufförmchen means even if you've never seen one, don't have a clue as to its purpose, and aren't employed at a restaurant at which you earn a solid wage despite the absence of the custom of tipping.
I'll bet she knows what ein auflaufförmchen ist.
